I enjoyed this run very much, but there's one thing that bugs me : the ice cave behind Jabu Jabu as an adult isn't considered as a "temple" ? This is the only disappointing part.
A part from the fact you take a red coin in the first castle, this is superb. Especially loved the rythm game on 1-5 :).
For the red coin, you might be forced to take it, like the flower in 1-7, but I dunno. Keep up the good work !
Seems like beating any one dark world dungeon will trigger the super bomb to available.
It seems that you need to beat Darunia's Cavern. We tried it yesterday with a friend : we went to the bomb shop without any level beat in the parallel world, we beat Darunia's Cavern, then went back and went again to the bomb shop where the big bomb awaited us.
Anyway, what exactly triggers Super Bomb being available? Beating Ruto's Fortress?
I think you need to beat Impa's Way. After the boss battle, the girl that appears in the crystal is Zelda. If I remember correctly, it is also Zelda that appears in A Link to the Past when you defeat Trinexx, and after this event the Super Bomb is triggered. The conceptors of the hack must not have bothered themselves to change this thing...
Pretty cool ^^
I think I heard many songs of step mania through this video, power plant, exhale for example...
Anyway, if you project to make another run or to perfect this one, or just in case you don't know it, this link could be handy.
These look incredibly fake to me. I mean, just look at the HP of the characters in the 2nd set of screenshots. Their HP is above their MAX HP, which obviously shows that he used cheat codes to get there. Therefore, it's very likely he used cheat codes to make that Shadow Zero spell appear or something.
It is true, though it's very very very very rare. It happened only one time to me when I was in the mana fort, using shadow wave against some book ennemy. I had the animation with many shadow zero running on top of the screen and Iwas "omfg wtf is dis !!§§!!§!" (though I am french so I didn't say exactly that). I don't remember if I had the shadow level to 8:99 but it was over 8, I am sure of this. And I was playing with the French cartridge of the game, on the good ol'SNES. I can't remember if I opened a chest with a shadow zero inside before using the spell, but I am also sure that I had already open chest with shadow zero inside while playing this game, more than one time.
If he used cheats, it might be in order to make the effect happen.
I was thinking after watching this run that he could have win quite some time in fight with little monsters througout the game by switching between the 3 characters after any hit on a monster. Although I do not know if the overall improvement would be that important... I also think that fighting this way would allow the 3 characters to be always gathered not to far away one from another, so the problem with blocked characters would be solved as well.
I admit I don't have the courage (neither the time) to try it for a complete speedrun, though I was thinking to try my theory on some part of the game :p. Because I assume to know nearly everything of this game, I will look again the run to see if some other things can be improved.
I am a bit lazy so I didn't read the entire topic, but I think every body is now talking about an 100% completion of Super Demo World.
I must say I am really waiting to see it because this game is quite hard and a complete speedrun could act as a walkthrough too :p, and also because I really enjoy speedruns (particularly games involving mario :) )
Good luck dude :D
